Read "Here in This Sorrow," and more short fiction, scripts, and very little poetry at Laugh at Yourself First.

I wrote a great printisbetter a few weeks ago about my adventure for a new phone, but I haven't had time to sit down and edit. First and foremost, I'm proud to announce that Ricki Scordino of EverTech High School was awarded the first Matthew Juser Memorial Scholarship. I made a vow not to read any entries until after the scholarship was awarded, so I am now looking forward to reading her short story, Sadie. One of the judges, the man who taught me everything I know about writing, said of Ricki's Story, "[the] author knows how to tell a convincing story. She's credibly developed her character, has a firm grasp of suspenseful control, exclusively dramatizes only what's important, and brings her reader, as participating observer, into a richly created realm... Welcome to Sadie's author on joining the esteemed ranks of exciting writers." Congratulations Ricki, my family thanks you for your participation.

If you are here with me in Binghamton, you will shortly be able to attend a reading of Ricki's short story as well. Details will follow, and you will be able to read about them on the newly launched printisbetter.com, which has links to both the printisbetter and Laugh at Yourself First, and for anyone interested in purchasing one of my printed books, links to their checkouts as well. The site will be updated frequently, so check back often. There will at least be a new Laugh at Yourself First every week, with chapters of the Salvation Shark continuing through the end of the year. Last week we started shooting D A Bush's The Demon Messenger. I found out last night, I won't need to shave my chest for my as-close-to-nude-as-you-are-likely-to-see-me scene, which in low light will make me virtually indistinguishable from the monster. Don't forget to visit printisbetter.com today. Thanks for reading.
